It’s the words that a magician chants to enhance the image of a magic.

Usually, you would think that you will be distracted if you are talking while thinking.

But it is said that an excellent magician chants an spell, alter their mind, and enhance the effect of the magic.

That was what Mother taught me.

Father who heard that beside me, told that it was the petty tricks of magicians.

But, Charlotte’s appearance of chanting an spell in front of me, and raising her magic powers……Saying it honestly, it was very cool.

It was beautiful. She was graceful. I was mesmerized.

Laura who thinks that the sword is the best, had her eyes stolen by a magician girl.

And then, a ray of light ran from Charlotte’s palm.

It was a bombardment of white shining light.

It was clearly in a different level of power than the students that went before her.

It hit the Flame Spirit as if it pierced the space itself, and went through it.

The Flame that the Spirit was created dissipates. And it disappeared just like that.

Still, the bombardment of light collided to the wall behind the spirit and roaring sounds echoed.

「Yes, good job, Charlotte-san. I didn’t think that the Flame Spirit would be defeated by a student in your first day」

「Fufu. This much, is natural in the Gazard House」

Saying that, Charlotte flips up her golden hair with her hand.

She was trying to be composed, but she was happy that the teacher praised her, and her cheeks were blushed

Maybe she has a personality that is easily understood.

「And to everyone. You saw the strength of the training grounds’ barrier right? Even a magic that powerful, look. The wall is not charred at all. And that is the same even if you shoot to the sky. It wouldn’t be a nuisance to anyone outside. So, everyone, don’t worry and shoot your best」

Emilia summoned a new Flame Spirit.

After that, the fifth one, the sixth one, the students were challenges it one next to the other.

Laura was looking how they looked from behind from the start, but the students that was able hit, was only 70% of everyone.

And if you ask about the students that destroyed the spirit, it was only Charlotte alone.

It’s a bit……no, it’s very disappointing.

I expected a lot because of Charlotte’s magic, but it rather made me irritated because of the students’ pathetic look that came after her.

What is, these people.

Is only hitting it their limits.

If it was the sword, even those who haven’t trained at all can at least hit a target.

As I’ve thought, magic isn’t good. The sword is better, that’s all I can think of.

「That only remaining one is Laura-san. Come, come. Do what you can do」

「Fufun. I will see your skill」

Emilia and Charlotte, didn’t even try to hide their expectations while staring at Laura.

Also, the students were about the same, they were very interested on what magic will a person with an aptitude of 9999 will show.

(Uwa〜……I’m nervous. But, if I did it this serious and there’s only a disappointing magic that comes out, maybe I could use that as reason so they could let me enter the Warrior Department)

「W-Well then, Laura Edmonds, I will go!」

While receiving everyone’s sight, I stepped forward.

I reached out my palm towards the Flame Spirit, and focused my senses.

I should chant a spell.

I don’t know about its logic, I don’t have techniques, and I haven’t trained.

It looked like she repaired the training ground’s barrier first, and reinforced it for a while so the explosion of the battering ram would not leak outside.

After that, she made a new barrier to protect all the students and Emilia herself, and used every magic power she had to reinforce it. She reinforced it, all that she can.

But, it wasn’t enough. There will probably a hole in the barrier that Emilia created, and many students might become casualties.

If it’s like that, then the main cause, Laura, should just reinforce the new barrier further.

「……Reinforce」

She whispered, and put her magic powers in Emilia’s barrier.

Laura did it naturally, even though she didn’t know that it was a high-level technique, she infused her magic powers to another person’s magic.

And everyone had no scratch because of that.

The damage also didn’t go out.

But the wall that was supposed to be fire-proof, was burnt black.

If Emilia’s decision, and Laura’s Reinforce was late even for a second……Who knows what would’ve happened.

「Eh, are you serious……Eh, Laura-san, is already stronger than me? I, who is a Gyrdorea Adventurer School’s instructor and a A-Ranker Adventurer, and I, who have the honor of the title “Dragon Killer” given by the Great Sage-sama……Eh, Eh? No way, there is no way……NONE!」

Emilia was mumbling, and then slapped her own cheeks.

It was only her who started moving, everyone other than her, stood their ground astonished.

Anybody couldn’t say a word.

And Laura, was looking at the palm of her handsーーExcited.

「That light, that power……with my own strength……?」

Father and mother will surely be angry.

But, I have felt it.

Kneading magic powers, and release it as strong as I could.

A feeling that I can’t feel with the sword, the power of ultimate destruction.

That, I might become addicted to it.

(No, stop it! I am Laura Edmonds. I’m a girl who dreams about being a swordsman!!)

“The sword is better” only for losers who can’t into magic. That’s harsh reality in a good fantasy. A fantasy where swordsmanship is on par with magic can only be in the time period of stone age, or bad writing.

Before this chapter I was thinking this LN was rather meh or blah. This line did it for me though: “「Devour my magic powers. Gather, Obey, Kneel down. I shall command you. Destroy all creations. Know who is the Kingーー」 ” ^_^
